雖然簡(jiǎn)歷非常重要，但求職信也是決定成敗的一個(gè)因素。在得到面試機(jī)會(huì)前，你的申請(qǐng)必須先打動(dòng)招聘人員或招聘經(jīng)理，所以完善求職信是獲得面試的關(guān)鍵。下面的建議能幫你寫出抓住招聘方眼球的完美求職信：
1. Tweak your tone for every company.
1. 為每家公司調(diào)整措辭。
Don't send generic cover letters that can be used for any job application. You want to make sure that the tone of your letter fits the type of firm you're applying to. Is the company looking for someone with sass or someone more serious? Figure that out on your own, and tailor your letter to what suits the company.
不要發(fā)適合任何職位的通用求職信。你要確保信中的語(yǔ)氣適合你申請(qǐng)的公司的氛圍。公司在找張揚(yáng)還是嚴(yán)肅的人?找出招聘要求，調(diào)整求職信讓它適合每家公司。
2. Make a case.
2. 寫具體事例。
You won't be able to get to this on your résumé, so be sure to make the case for why you're the right person for the job and why you want to work for the company on your cover letter. A good way to sell yourself is to connect your experiences with the job description. List your skills and experiences that match the type of candidate they are looking to hire.
你不能在簡(jiǎn)歷上寫這些，所以要在求職信上用事例證明你為什么適合這份工作以及為什么想來(lái)這家公司。推銷自己的一個(gè)好方法是把經(jīng)歷和職位描述聯(lián)系起來(lái)。列出和公司想招的人才相匹配的技能和經(jīng)歷。
3. Be different.
3. 內(nèi)容要和簡(jiǎn)歷不一樣。
Don't repeat everything on your résumé in your cover letter. The letter is your chance to shine and show a bit of your personality. Repeating what's already been said just takes up valuable space.
不要在求職信里重復(fù)簡(jiǎn)歷上的一切。求職信是你展示亮點(diǎn)和個(gè)性的機(jī)會(huì)。重復(fù)寫過(guò)的內(nèi)容只會(huì)浪費(fèi)寶貴的空間。
4. Don't bring up your weaknesses.
4. 不要提到弱點(diǎn)。
If no one is asking you what your biggest failings are, then don't be so eager to volunteer that information. The cover letter is not the time to reflect on self-improvement; save that for the weakness question you may be asked during the interview.
如果沒(méi)人問(wèn)你最大的缺點(diǎn)是什么，不要急著把它說(shuō)出來(lái)。求職信不是反思自我的時(shí)間，面試被問(wèn)到弱點(diǎn)時(shí)再考慮吧。
5. Focus on the company, not yourself.
5. 關(guān)注該公司而不是你自己。
Try your best to show that you care about the company and how you want to help it grow. Try to avoid using too much "I," and instead show how you can be a helpful addition to the company.
盡量表現(xiàn)出你對(duì)公司的關(guān)心以及你如何想要幫它成長(zhǎng)。別用過(guò)多的“我要”，而是體現(xiàn)你對(duì)公司會(huì)如何有用。
6. Stick to the right length.
6. 嚴(yán)格遵守求職信格式。
Limit yourself to a page, and try to stick to four paragraphs. The first should comprise an introduction, the position you'd like to apply for, and a sentence briefly summarizing why you'd like the job and why you're a perfect fit. The next two paragraphs should go on to mention applicable skills and specific achievements that further showcase how qualified you are for the job. You can even use some of the space to explain your suitability if it needs more details, such as why you're changing careers. The last paragraph should be a brief emphasis on why you're excited for the position and a place for you to thank the readers for their time and consideration. You can also make a polite mention of letting them know you'll be in touch.
求職信一定只能一頁(yè)，盡量有四個(gè)段落。第一段應(yīng)該有自我介紹、想申請(qǐng)的職位并且一句話總結(jié)喜歡這份工作以及適合的原因。接下來(lái)的兩個(gè)段落應(yīng)該寫工作需要的技能以及能深入體現(xiàn)自身素質(zhì)的成就。如果需要更多細(xì)節(jié)的話，你甚至可以用些篇幅解釋你有多合適，比如為什么想換工作。最后一段應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)短強(qiáng)調(diào)你為什么對(duì)這個(gè)職位充滿期待以及對(duì)招聘方花時(shí)間看這封求職信的感謝。你也可以禮貌的讓他們知道能隨時(shí)聯(lián)系到你。
7. Keep it clean.
7. 語(yǔ)句無(wú)錯(cuò)，前后一致。
Be sure to repeatedly edit your cover letter, and always have at least one other pair of eyes look it over. Check for grammar mistakes, run-on sentences, and spelling errors. Make sure everything is consistent. If you say "I am" in the first sentence, then don't suddenly switch to "I'm" in the next.
一定要反復(fù)修改求職信，至少讓一個(gè)小伙伴檢查。檢查語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤、斷句和拼寫錯(cuò)誤。確保前后一致。如果你先寫的是“I am”，就不要在后面寫“I'm”。
